My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields Says "All-New Material" and Remastered Albums are in the Works After waiting over two decades for m b v, fans of My Bloody Valentine might not have to wait that long for new material from the band. Shields says that three m b v offcuts “will come out sometime,” including one that is “chord-based,” one “rhythmic-based,” and one similar to album track ‘She Found Now’. More interestingly, Shields says that — along with analog remasters of Loveless and Isn’t Anything — “the main plan for next year is to make a new record.” [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBKjhgHGVZs]she found now - m b v - my bloody valentine - YouTube[/ame] http://www.factmag.com/2013/08/09/my-bloody-valentines-kevin-shields-says-all-new-material-and-remastered-albums-are-in-the-works/ See you in 21 years! :)

André 3000 Teases New Solo Album While Big Boi has delivered two solo albums in the time since OutKast went on hiatus, André 3000's musical output has largely been one-off collaborations. But as MissInfo.tv reports, he may have a new album coming out next year. Stephen Hill, the president of programming at BET, ran into André backstage at the Lil Wayne, T.I., and 2 Chainz show in Washington, DC yesterday. He tweeted their exchange: Though this is far from confirmed, official, or definite, a new André 3000 album would be his first solo endeavor since The Love Below, his half of the 2003 OutKast split LP.
